I've played COD4 for like 6 months now as my online game. But now the achievements have come out and I was like great I can go back to Halo! But its pretty awful, I used to love it but this is terrible. I first noticed how it takes like 10 minutes to find a game and when you do, the search just restarts. I've probably played Halo in the past week for about 8 hours and I've probaly played around 12 games. I've been sitting here for literally 30 minutes waiting for a game. And why does your stupid NAT type have to be open? Every other games online functions better than Halo and my NAT is moderate for all those. Also when you do finally get into a game it's blurry and people quit and glitch and it lags extremely bad and your teamates kill you. I can't believe I played over 1000 games in the first couple months after it came out. Anyways I just wanted to ask if its any better when your NAT type is open? I've tried to change it but I don't know the password for my router controls.

Look, another person who hates Halo 3!!!! I gave up on that game too, and not just achievement wise. Campaign was dull as hell, multiplayer was dull as hell, and everytime I get into a game and it disconnects, I lose expereince, and it counts as a REAL MATCH!!!! This game is just horrible at multiplayer. Hell, Dead Rising's online play is much more better then this!!!

Honestly, just give up on this game, and sell it to get about $15 or something around that...

whoa press enter every now and then to make a paragraph or something....I haven't played Halo3 in a couple months now, so I don't know what the update is like, but an update that gave out new achievements, wouldn't make people kill you more or something silly like that.

Please tell me you just posted that as a joke...It doesn't bother me that you like Halo better then COD4, it DOES bother me that you are going to use caps lock when its not needed, that you just sate something without giving any good reasons, and generally being a fanboy.

The reason you have to have your NAT set to open is because its the only way to get full functionality out of xbox live, its not just halo, its recommend by EVERY game.... www.xbox.com/live (try reading a little) the reason its taking forever for you to find a game is because of your moderate NAT settings....

How can you say that COD4 campaign was dull? It is the second best campaign mode IMO of any the shooting games for the xbox 360 Halo 3 is a close 3rd though but Gears of War is the best by far. i love Halo 3 and everyone is entitled to their own opinion but to call COD4 campaign dull is just not true.

I went back for the same reason, and I'm loving it. I forgot how much fun Halo can be in short bursts. It's when you play it too much, or too little is when you get frusterated with it.

Hello tards time to grow up Halo3 is good and so is CoD4 but both campains need work. halo 3 was a short campaign and in CoD4 it was mostly repeats of the same thing. take cover, dont get shot, kill these guys, hide in here, go to this place, BLAND MUCH.besides im a fan of both and know CoD4 is ok and halo 3 to, but when it comes to multiplayer halo 3 is the leading ame on xbox live.CATERBIRD

Well said CATEBIRD. seriously very well put.

I don't like 1st person shooters, never did because i always need to know where my character is walking and stuff, otherwise i fall in places where i'm not suposed too, i'm sure it's just me. And that's why GEARS OF WAR rocks.

But for me Halo 3 was hyped all the way and it doesn't even look like a 360 game, i don't know where it went wrong because i didn't like the first two games anyways.

But i do think Halo fans deserved a better game, i hope Microsux make it up to you guys on the next one, but just to me that game SUCKS big time!!!

Wow, all those post, and maybe two answers that were actually relevant... way to go guys, real good... To the TC, as mentioned, you need to have an open NAT to get the most out of games on live. it will allow you faster (and stronger) connections, and will alleviate your problems with halo and finding games. However, Halo itself has been messed up, at least last night it was, thanks to the new "pre-update" microsoft released. My buddy and I were able to connect to a total of 3 games in an hour and a half last night. It seems everyone had a bad connection last night, at least everyone we tried. We tested by choosing to prefer players with strong connections. Out of nearly 1000 matches found, it wasn't able to connect to a single game. Put it back to allow any connections, and it allowed us to connect to the aforementioned games, albeit with a lot of lag and other oddities in tow. So, as an answer to your question, yes you should change your NAT to open (xbox.com, search for port forwarding), but it might not, at least at the current time, give you the answers you are looking for. Now, with that out of the way, to all the CoD4 vs. Halo fanboys, bugger off in a corner and die. Seriously, it's gotten old already. They're both great games, if you're too blind to see that then you really fit the fanboy category. If you simply don't like a game, then fine. But back it up with why you don't like it. Every argument needs solid reasoning, otherwise it's just pointless rambling.

Me too, I played halo non stop when it came out and then after like two months it was just so boring. Then my friend got it and I asked myself why did I stop playing this. And then the same thing happened, you got to switch it up.

lol dude nat gose4 on any where on xbox libve buddy kk bungie took the extra step to provide u the info if it was nt open

it dont have to be open but u will be limited to people on any game on xbox live

i suggest u call or have your parants call your internet provider and bring you a differnet router as yours is bad and junk it should be free they will charghe a servis fee for having to come which should be like 20 bucks

and if u dont know your password for your router then u need ask your parants for it if they dont know and your internet provider gave it to u it be really simple u can just call and they have it will aleast they should if u bought it your self call the support number and see what they can do if u dont know support number just google it

Look, another person who hates Halo 3!!!! I gave up on that game too, and not just achievement wise. Campaign was dull as hell, multiplayer was dull as hell, and everytime I get into a game and it disconnects, I lose expereince, and it counts as a REAL MATCH!!!! This game is just horrible at multiplayer. Hell, Dead Rising's online play is much more better then this!!!

Honestly, just give up on this game, and sell it to get about $15 or something around that...

If you look very closely you may find your answer.

portforward.com It takes maybe 20 minutes to open you NAT.

i liked them both, but if i had to choose i would choose cod 4, both games took me about the same time to beat, halo was just a little more challenging. I would have chose halo 3, but they changed online to much; I mean the killing is a little faulty. Both games are very repetitive when it comes to online. Cod has presteige mode and halo just had a update that reseats exp and you play the same games over and over again. Both of them have useful dlc. The thing that made me choose cod is the community; right now there is alot of *** holes on halo 3. Still i like both of the games.

I played COD 4 for 6 months straight and never touched Halo 3, but now I am finding it a bit stale. Its not that COD 4 is bad, its just that after 6 months I just need a change and Halo 3 is still pretty good even after a year.

I bet I am a lot better than you. I'm a 47 in Slayer, 45 in Double team, 45 in lone wolves. And I have won 2/3 games with almost 700 ranked and a little less than 500 in social. And 90% of the games I've played so far in DLC Big team I am by far the best in the game.

It's because it only lags and glitches in Halo 3. Everyother online game I play is fine.

I agree with how long it takes for a match. When you do find other players and the room is full, you still have to wait up to a minute for everyone to load the map. At one time i thought Halo had the best matchmaking of any game. Now after playing games like Battlefield and COD4, it seems very outdated.

It's a good game when it's working properly but when it's not then it is terrible. If everyone's connection is good and no one quits then it's fun.

Campaign was dull as hell, multiplayer was dull as hell, and everytime I get into a game and it disconnects, I lose expereince, and it counts as a REAL MATCH!!!! This game is just horrible at multiplayer. Hell, Dead Rising's online play is much more better then this!!!

Honestly, just give up on this game, and sell it to get about $15 or something around that...

I bet I am a lot better than you. I'm a 47 in Slayer, 45 in Double team, 45 in lone wolves. And I have won 2/3 games with almost 700 ranked and a little less than 500 in social. And 90% of the games I've played so far in DLC Big team I am by far the best in the game.

I agree with how long it takes for a match. When you do find other players and the room is full, you still have to wait up to a minute for everyone to load the map. At one time i thought Halo had the best matchmaking of any game. Now after playing games like Battlefield and COD4, it seems very outdated. caperjim

The reason why it takes longer to find a game is because:

1. Ranks actually mean something in Halo 3 so you can't join games in progress

2. They try to match you with people of your same skill level.

So basically (online glitching and lagging aside) the extra time is there to ensure a greater quality match (skill wise). And I do find that it works, since I have had alot of close games on Halo 3 while on COD 4 most matches are blowouts. But since COD 4 doesn't have a true ranking system for skill, bad quality matches mean alot less than on Halo since you do earn experience regardless.

I think that both matchmaking systems correspond well to the game its for.
